Image Enlargement with Neural Networks

In the AI menu of AliveColors, a new useful item has appeared - Image Enlargement. The new feature allows you to increase a photo up to 800% enhancing its quality. It offers two magnification algorithms to choose: Standard (recommended for photographs) and Intensified (for illustrations, artworks, images with text).

Transform low-resolution images to high-quality prints!

 

Color Balance Adjustment

With each release, AliveColors gets more and more must-have color correction options. The update includes the Color Balance adjustment (available also as an adjustment layer) that allows you to correct color tints in individual tonal ranges.

Make your photos achieve their best appearance!

 

Improved Object Selection Features

The new version offers some improvements in the AI-based selection features added into the previous version of AliveColors: the Object Selection tool and the Select Subject command.

 

Updated NatureArt Built-in Plugin

The NatureArt built-in plugin has been updated. The plugin offers a collection of unique effects that imitate natural phenomena: Rain, Clouds, Rainbow, Water, Lightning, Frost, and Aurora. Change the weather on your images!

In the new version, the Autorun option moved to the effect settings for more convenience and usability.
